The Widow at the Dinner Party
Grieving in a World that Doesn't Know Where to LookBy Margaret Meloni, PhDRecorded TrackLength37m
About this audiobook
Your partner has died. Now, you are walking through one of the hardest seasons of your life.
Here's what no one tells you: grief doesn't happen alone. It happens surrounded by people, some who will astonish you with their kindness, and others who will leave you speechless for entirely different reasons. Support may arrive from the most unexpected places: a distant colleague, a casual acquaintance, a friend you'd nearly lost touch with. Meanwhile, some of the people closest to you may disappoint you.
Death is hard - not just for you, but for everyone around you. We all carry strengths and weaknesses, and grief has a way of illuminating both in ourselves and in the people we meet along the way.
In this short audiobook, The Widow at the Dinner Party, you'll meet some of the characters from my own grief journey. You may recognize a few of their behaviors. You'll certainly have stories of your own.
My hope is simple: that these pages offer you support, a little insight, and a laugh or two
